I,
APOSTLE FRANCIS KHAOYA was born in
June 4th 1965 in a religious family. Both my parents were devoted
Catholics but without the salvation of Jesus Christ. My mother loved prayer and
singing Christian songs. She inspired me to love God and I also became very
devoted to the Catholic Church where I was appointed to be the youth director
with form of Godliness but I lacked the power of God.
My mother had a co-wife that engaged her in endless battles the lifestyle which caused her to seek help from witchdoctors. I got so sick without medical help. I developed a constant mental breakdown any time I had to do an exam in school. My mother and friends encouraged me to seek help from witch doctors. The most famous witchdoctor operating under the spirit of divination and sorcery predicted that I had a mantle for a big leadership role and the only way I was to be healed was to be dedicated to the spirits to become one of the seers and traditional priests. God spared my life by causing my father to refuse to dedicate me to the gods with special animal blood sacrifices.
I ran away from home to the city of Nairobi after school graduation to look for a job in 1988. The same illness hit me while in Nairobi and there was no witchdoctor I knew to give me gems for my relief. I went to a big crusade where I heard the gospel of salvation and I repented by throwing away all gems and breaking all covenants with powers of darkness.
The Lord saved me and the same night I received the call for ministry. The Lord spoke to me directly that He had called me to preach the Gospel but I never knew where to begin and how to do it. I had been the student overall leader living a lukewarm life with some leadership skills but I never knew how to apply that to my new life and calling.
I was led to a local church called Redeemed Gospel Church where I was a disciple for three years and I became a very strong intercessor for the church and very instrumental in youth ministry. God led me back home in 1990 where I was ordained a pastor in 1991. I served as a pastor but the Lord confirmed to me that I needed to operate and serve in Apostolic Ministry after going through Bible school both for leadership and ministerial training.
I asked to be released in 1999 and I founded FAITH GOSPEL MINISTRY in 1st October 2000. The ministry was born out of intensive evangelism, discipleship and soul winning. I was led to organize missions, big crusades and leadership training / conferences as the East Africa Director of Oracle Ministry International with Evangelist Dan Burgess who passed away this year in a terrible road accident. While in USA Evangelist Burgess had no burden for souls after they came to the Lord but I had a big task to train these people to continue living for the Lord with the purpose of identifying the God given talents and gifts, develop and send them to serve the Lord in the area of their calling.
I planted a big church in Bungoma Town as the training centre and we have planted many churches in every corner of Bungoma District and now I have a new church in Kakamega town which is a Provincial base that is going to serve as a centre for all churches within Western Kenya. I have planted another church in Kiringeti National Park to be the base to oversee other churches in Tanzania.
Many ministry partners and spiritual sons who I have been working with in Uganda want me to go plant churches there and same call from un-reached and remote regions of Turkana on the boundary of Kenya and Sudan. Needy and desperate Christians are also asking our ministry to enter Southern Sudan to plant churches, schools, hospitals and orphanage ministry but we are looking to God to open doors of resources and I shall soon start the work by evangelism, soul winning and discipleship through human relief.
I am married to Tabitha Mwangale with four blessed children who love the Lord. Victor 15 is in high school, Abigail 13 in standard 7 and the worship leader in teens church, Daniel 11 in standard 4 and Judah 3 who stays home with us and so playful loves worshiping and dancing for the Lord.
Stay blessed and the Lord shine his face upon you.
Yours for souls,
Apostle Francis Khaoya & Tabitha
